Chen Shaolong ran in front, followed by Liang Jian and others chasing after him vigorously. A group of people quickly went down the mountain. Passing through the temporary camp area outside the city, Chen Shaolong took the lead to arrive at the city gate, but was stopped by the city defenders: "In the city
It’s overcrowded, and no one is allowed to come in. Please stay outside.”
Chen Shaolong smiled and said: "I live in an inn in the city. When I left the city yesterday morning, I showed you my fireball technique. Don't you remember?"
The city guarding soldier looked at it and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot. There are not even a thousand but eight hundred people in Tenglong City who know the fireball technique. How could I remember that there are so many people! If you know the fireball technique, then you can't
Just in time, they are helping us defend the city outside. I heard that the surrounding dark army has controlled a large number of monsters, forming a huge force and is surrounding Tenglong City. It would be good if you use fireball to kill a few monsters!"
"It's okay to help defend the city, but I have to go into the city first to do things!" Chen Shaolong said with a smile: "When I finish the work, not to mention destroying a few monsters, even if I destroy all the dark army, let me first
Let’s go into the city.” With that said, Chen Shaolong was about to walk in.
"Dang——" Two broadswords crossed directly in front of Chen Shaolong, and the city guard soldier said seriously: "I'm warning you again, the city is overcrowded, and you can't wait for the idlers..."
"Papa -" Before the city guard could finish speaking, he was slapped twice in the face. The city guard was furious and was about to slash at him with a big sword, but he saw that the man who slapped him was so angry.
Does it look familiar? The sword suddenly hovered an inch above the man's head.
The one who hit was Liang Jian.
"Cut it? Why don't you chop it off?" Liang Jian said with a smile on his face, but it was the kind of sneer that concealed a knife in his smile.
Hearing this, the soldier guarding the city quickly threw his sword aside and knelt down in front of Liang Jian with a bang: "I'm sorry, Major General. I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you. I really didn't know it was you."
You? Please forgive me, Major General. Please spare me, Major General!"
Liang Jian smiled coldly and said: "It doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not. The key is whether this master will forgive you or not!"
"I'm sorry, Master, I'm sorry. I'm too young to recognize the Master. I thought the Master was just a commoner who had fled, so I blocked the Master from the door. We all followed orders. Please forgive me, Master."
!" The guarding soldier quickly apologized to Chen Shaolong. Chen Shaolong was dressed in tattered coarse linen clothes and looked more like a refugee than he did a few days ago.
Seeing that Chen Shaolong was silent, Liang Jian said calmly: "You think the master is a commoner who has fled? Don't you know that there is a saying that people should not be judged by their appearance? Masters dress like this on purpose. This is the master who hides himself.
Style! What's more, can you oppress even the people who are fleeing? You are getting Chinese military pay, but you do such a show of force. Are you very satisfied? Are you very powerful? When I, the Chinese soldiers, are very arrogant? Come here.
, give him thirty hard blows with a military stick, then pull him down and dig out his useless eyes, and cut off his arrogant hands as punishment!"
After receiving the order, the two sergeants immediately came over with military sticks, pushed the soldier to the ground and beat him. The soldier quickly begged for mercy: "Major General, Major General, please spare your life! Major General..."
After being beaten with thirty military sticks, the guy had no strength to struggle anymore. He could only beg for mercy while being dragged away. But Liang Jian had a serious face and didn't even look at him.
"Wait a minute." Chen Shaolong frowned, human life is so cheap? What's more, he is still a soldier. He really doesn't want others to die because of a trivial matter, so Chen Shaolong said to Liang Jian: "You kid
He is also cruel and ruthless, and this is not how the army is run!"
Liang Jian quickly bowed and said: "I am willing to listen to the teachings of the master!"
"Teach you a lesson." Chen Shaolong said: "I just expressed my personal opinion. This guard was actually following orders and warned me repeatedly not to enter. It's just that I had to enter the city myself, so I was punished.
After receiving their warning, this is normal.”….
"Then he still wants to chop me!" Liang Jian said.
Chen Shaolong smiled and said: "He was slapped twice unexpectedly, of course he was very angry. As the gate guards of Tenglong City, they are related to the authority and face of Tenglong City. If anyone comes here, they can be slapped.
If they were slapped in the face, then they themselves would be very spineless. How can the gate of Tenglong City be strong? And now, with a powerful enemy in front of them, both the empire and the people need the protection of the soldiers. They guard the city gate and are naturally the first to fight with them.
Soldiers fighting against demons may encounter life-threatening danger at any time. Although they receive military pay from the empire, they are still working for the empire. Are you still punishing them like this now, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers?"
When Liang Jian heard the words, he nodded repeatedly and said: "What the master taught me is, what does the master think I should do? Please give me some advice."
Chen Shaolong said: "Ignorance is not a crime. He wanted to chop you because he didn't see you. After he saw you clearly, he still stopped the movement of his hand, which shows that he was not really disrespectful to you. I think the punishment is fine.
You hit him thirty times for no reason. Didn’t you lose another combat effectiveness in vain? You are now a major general, and you will definitely become a general in the future. This is not how the army is run. You must be kind to your subordinates.
, only if you are good to them, they will be more loyal to you, more willing to sacrifice their lives for you, and your army will be invincible. Have you heard the saying that the benevolent are invincible? Of course, if you encounter that kind of soldier,
Of course you don't need any mercy, just be ruthless. Combining benevolence with ruthlessness, I believe you will lead a good team."
Liang Jian nodded as if he had some understanding, and Chen Shaolong smiled and said: "You will understand it slowly. Now, you apologize to this guard, and we will enter the city."
"What?" Liang Jian, Liang Hao, Long Wei, Long Wu and even Ye Xiner opened their mouths.
"I can't bear this, Master. I beg you, Master, please spare me! You are trying to kill me. I will be satisfied with the impunity of the young general!" Even the one who was beaten was already satisfied.
The guard with thirty military sticks ignored the pain in his buttocks and quickly fell at the feet of Chen Shaolong and Liang Jian, shouting loudly.
Chen Shaolong said with a strange look on his face: "Why don't you just apologize? Is there any need to make such a fuss?"
Liang Jian had a strange look on his face and quietly leaned into Chen Shaolong's ear and said: "Master, you have lived in the mountains for a long time and are not in the human world. You may not be aware of some situations. I am a dignified baron and a nobleman. According to the laws of the empire,
, Nobles are not allowed to apologize to civilians, it would undermine the majesty of the nobles, and the civilians who apologized would have their whole families killed. So, if you want me to apologize to this soldier, even if I am willing, he will not be willing."
Hearing this, Chen Shaolong couldn't help but said "Fuck", the nobles in feudal society are so inhumane to save face, so Chen Shaolong said: "That's it, then forget it, but how do you compensate him?"
You have to figure it out yourself, and don’t let the soldiers’ hearts get cold.”
Liang Jian chuckled and said: "We have to ask an expert to treat him and take care of him so that he can return to work tomorrow."
"That's it, that's fine, you owe me." After saying that, Chen Shaolong casually gave the guard a healing spell, which restored his injuries to a certain extent. If he healed him a little more, he would be fine.
.
Liang Jian also touched his body, took out a small handful of silver coins, threw it to the soldier, and said: "Here, I'm going to reward you. I'll give you a day off today. Come back here tomorrow, do you hear me?"
"Yes, Major General! Thank you, Major General! Thank you, Master!" The soldier had tears in his eyes and bit his lips tightly. He originally thought that his eyes would be gouged out, his hands would be cut off, and he would live a life worse than death, but instead
Unexpectedly, things suddenly took a turn for the better, and it was the master who was blocked by him who saved him. The master is indeed a master. The master does not remember the faults of the villain. He is not only a master, he is simply a saint!
"That's right!" The soldier suddenly remembered something, and suddenly whispered something into Chen Shaolong's ear. Chen Shaolong couldn't help but clenched his fists and said angrily: "Seeking death!"
